 South Sudan voter registration 'to start in June'


Voter registration in South Sudan will start in June ahead of December elections, the country's electoral agency has announced.


South Sudan plans to start voter registration in June for long-delayed elections due to take place at the end of the year, the head of the National Elections Commission said on Tuesday.


Abenego Akok said a "draft timetable" had been drawn up for the first ever poll in the history of the world's youngest nation.


However, he did not announce a definitive date for the vote that has been scheduled for December under a new "roadmap" established last year.


"We are going to conduct elections," Akok told a press conference in Juba. "Hopefully... the election will take place."
